[Video] Prefab Built Module At A Time

[Update – video no longer available] Pardon the pre-roll on the video below, but the LA Times has some excellent interior / exterior footage of a Marmol Radziner Prefab being constructed in Venice, California. As you can see, it was put together module-by-module with much of the interior already in place. Regularly featured on the MR Blog, this house appears to be for Leo Marmol himself and has been referred to as the “Palms House.” The Palms House is 2800 square feet, made with 13 modules, and includes 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a living room/dining room, kitchen, office, and a spacious deck/outdoor area.

It’s fun watching the video, because you can see Ron Radziner’s enthusiasm bubble inside as he explains one of his company’s newest creations. These guys are having fun, you can just tell.

I don’t know about this house in particular, but as a general rule prefabricated houses have much more stringent construction standards than on-site builds. So, these houses should be every bit as solid as a traditional home.
